I was feeling sorry for Cruz.
And us, we are the big losers here, cuz Cruz is a good, smart, guy.
HB-1 isn’t the big issue for me, but yes, you’re right, I can’t imagine him breaking the bonds that tie him into a non viable candidate.
I work in IT, I have been watching the flagrant violation and lies about H1B grow and grow over my career, its ludicrous the claims that these politicians make trying to justify this program.
The law as written is fine, but the law as written is ignored wholesale. The claim that they need that to keep the Harvard grads, is nonsense, that’s not what the program is for! H1B is purely for being able to hire a foreigner when you cannot find a qualified US candidate to do the job, it is not intended or written so you hold onto top talent that happens to be foreign born.
The politicians lie, the business folks lie, everyone lies about and abuses this program its a disgrace and no one who supports it will get my vote. I like Cruz, but if he supports anything but contraction of the H1B program he won’t get my vote.
